B.A., Brighom English Faculty School ' s Largest Encompassing the areas of drama, speech, and journalism in addition to traditional courses stressing literature, writing, and grammar, the English depart- ment ranked as the school ' s largest de- partment, growing in number from 14 members in 1964-65 to 22 in 1965-66. The department, headed by Mr. Eu- gene Kasper, prided itself in keeping abreast of English instructional techniques used in schools across the country. At de- partment meetings held once each month, teachers presented reports on some new or interesting facet of concern to English instructors. Since each member of the de- partment was assigned only four instead of the customary five classes, teachers were able to stress writing techniques and skills. As part of the effort to co-ordinate English instruction throughout the district, two members of the RHHS faculty worked on a grammar curriculum during the sum- mer months. One new addition to the English cur- riculum at Rolling Hills the past year was the introduction of a course in English lit- erature, required of all seniors along with either composition or business English. The composition class was for students inter- ested in studying communication skills which would be helpful in college, while business English was designed for those primarily wishing to develop practical communication skills.
